Paddy is the only one available he is told to make his way to City Square as the dead animal is quite nearby. Two hours later he arrives and someone points the Dray horse out to him. by this time the brewery have removed both the other Horse and Cart and made arrangements for the dead horse to be removed. Paddy looks at the animal then takes out his notebook and pencil, licks the pencil and writes Found one dead 'oss in ......... Then not knowig where he is he asks a passerby "What Road is this ?" the man replies Lower Basinghall Street. So after having quite a few attempts to write this address without success. he waits until it's quiet, taks off his uniform jacket and the drags the Giant beast by the tail 100 yards. Takes out his notebook, licks his pencil and writes "Found one dead 'oss in Boar Lane"

Its' early December and a letter arrives at the Head Post addressed to "Father Christmas" as the lads don't know what to do they open it and read the spidery handwriting. Dear Santa i wonder if you can help me, My name is Doris, an 87 year old Widow and last week down in Leeds Market i lost my purse with my £50. savings inside. I had wanted to buy my only Grandson a present but now do not know which way to turn, Please help me Santa as i am desperate. The lads show it to each other and decide to have a whip round. They manage to raise £46 and put this in an envelope marked "To Doris, from Sanat Claus, Greenland. The Staff awaited any sign of a reply and sure enough early in the New Year a letter arrived addressed to Father Christmas, Greenland. They eagerly opened it and read. "Dear, Dear Santa thankyou so very much for your kind Gift , i was able to buy the present i needed for my little boy" Just one thing i would mention There was only £46 arrived so i bet it was those thieving Bast..ds at the Post Office that had the rest.......... Doris.

Seeing the young Lady quivering with excitement just looking at it the Old man says "We'll take it". Beaming the Manager says "As it it rather a large amount how do you intend to pay for it Sir" ? The Old chap replies " I shall write youout a cheque and as it now Friday afternoon please present it to the Bank on Monday morning and when it has cleared phone me and i shall collect the ring". The Manager says fine and the couple leave with the young lady clinging on tightly. Monday mid morning and the Old mans telephone rings, it is the Manager from the Jewellers, he says angrily " I have just had the Bank ring me and they say there is not a penny in your account to clear this cheque" The Old fellow replies "Never mind that, let me tell you about my Weekend"
